Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:4.2p1-7
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Hi,

Currently, according to documentation, the from="" clause in
authorized_keys only supports wildcards * and ?, most probably since
domain names were primary concern of upstream at the time of writing.

It is, however, common practice to write IP addresses in that file.

Thus, ip/prefix notation (such as 192.168.83.0/28) should be allowed
as well.

Greetings
Marc
